The O.J. McDuffie Catch 81 Foundation, Inc. was founded in July, 2006 as a 501(c)3 non-profit, public fundraising foundation. Their mission is to support and create programs to enhance the quality of life for the children of South Florida and to empower them to pursue the best in themselves. The Foundation is committed to supporting South Florida's youth through a series of special fundraising events such as the Spring Celebrity Golf Classic, Summer Softball Slam, Signature Grand Ghoul and the Strikes For Kids Bowling Tournament, among others.

In the first years of existence, The Catch 81 Foundation was able to support many nonprofit organizations possessing a similar mission. These worthy and amazing organizations included: The Sheridan House Single Parent Ministries, The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Alonzo Mourning Holiday Party, The Boys and Girls Club, NFL YET Center the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, S.W.I.M.S. Foundation and the American Cancer Society - Relay For Life, The SOS Children's Villages - Florida as well as the Jack & Jill Children's Center.

The vision of The Catch 81 Foundation is to position itself in such a way that it makes a profound impact in the lives of many more underserved children in South Florida. Through its fundraising initiatives, it will continue to create and support programs to advance the lives of these children and empower them as they embark on their journey to adulthood.

O.J. McDuffie was one of the National Football League's best receivers throughout the 1990's. Dan Marino stated in his retirement speech, "O.J. was probably the toughest guy I ever played with." He led the NFL in receptions in 1998 and was named the Miami Dolphin's MVP in 1997 and 1998. He still remains the fourth all-time receiver in Miami Dolphin history. As a First Team All-American at Penn State University, "Juice" was the Miami Dolphins first round draft pick in 1993, where he played his entire nine year professional football career. A fearless competitor who always gave 100%, O.J. was a leader both on and off the field.
